Have a cheap weapon to potentially lose to law enforcement or a expensive better made maybe more accurate weapon to lose to law enforcement? Need a new carry weapon, trying to make a proper decision. Thanks

Something reliable, effective, that you shoot well, but leave the family heirlooms and fancy engraved pieces, collectables, etc., at home. Fortunately, Glocks fit the bill perfectly, so get a Glock 26, a good gun belt, a good IWB holster for 4:00 carry, and be done with it.

If popo takes it, there's a good chance that they'll make it impossible for you to buy another one, at least for the time being. It might be a good idea to have an extra on hand. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
